Nathan Payne and his partner juggled door-to-door sales, satellite TV, and Dish Network while cold-calling FSBO listings on Zillow to break into Utah real estate wholesaling. They were terrified of the calls and made few deals, but kept grinding on multiple hustles at once to pay the bills.

So we started doing door-to-door and we started doing real estate during the day. And let me tell you, we had no idea what we were doing at all when we were doing real estate. We would get a for sale by owners, we would go to Zillow, look for sale by owners in Utah and just call. Maybe we— I think our goal is like 10. We're like, let's call 10 for sale by owners. Maybe like 3 picked up. Sometimes we would just sit there and plan because we were scared to make the calls. We're like, we don't know what we're doing. So after like that day happened, like until like 5:00, we would do the real estate or even act like we were doing real estate and then we would go knock doors and we'd go sell. And we were torn between Satellite TV, Dish Network, Sprint, as we were selling and building that team to sustain us and like build the business while we did wholesaling. So we were, we were split, our attention was divided. So we were like, well, let's keep doing it. We just kept doing it.
